On MOCPages , Jesus Achuy posted his Lego model of a Mercedes-Benz Actros 1844 truck for the Dakar Rally.

Features include:

* Four Wheel Drive* All independent suspension

* LED lights

* Winch

* Has 2 PF XL motors for driving (with 1:5 gear reduction), 1 PF Medium motor for steering (1:12 gear reduction with Clutch), 1 PF M-motor for the winch (1:3 gear reduction), 2 PF IR Receivers (on the same channel for more power to the two XL motors) -- all plugged onto one battery box.

He used ATRX's Suspension . This YouTube video shows the TREMENDOUS TORQUE this MOC can generate! It can pull itself up a vertical wall!

Awesome MOC!

I love it and I'm not usually into Technic!

Great use of the steering wheel!

[Jurgen Krooshoop]

Impressive performance. And nice to see it pulling 3 other (non-Lego) cars
